Fearless Freddie’s Football Forecast

DOUBTFUL. Streaks are on the line when the New Orleans Saints visit the Buffalo Bills this Sunday.

The Saints have won six straight games and bring in a high-powered offense led by future Hall of Fame quarterback Drew Brees.

The Bills counter with a takeaway defense and an unbeaten home record. Something has to give, and the feeling here is the Buffalo defense will crumble.

Freddie sees it this way:

Saints 35, BILLS 24

HOME TEAMS are capitalized. Teams picked to win are listed first, followed by the predicted margin of victory. The official Las Vegas odds are in parentheses.
